no offense but you dont get what I'm saying at all. art is the product of artists, artists like all people are incomplete and messy vessels of ideology and that comes out in the art they create. quentin tarantino likes to drool over feet IRL, not coincidentally his films are full of shots of feet. this isnt a particularly groundbreaking way of understanding art.

So he was tryna have a stand in for himself, reviewing his movies, in universe. with him interacting with characters as actors commenting on the movies???

So he was gonna try to say cliff booth starred in inglourious basterds, did the stunt driving for death proof, etc?

damn the more i think about it the more dope the movie critic actually seems now
he probably would have had clips from fake versions of kill bill 3 and django zorro vincent vega spinoff movie maybe even luke cage movie

The film’s exact story details are not known, but sources familiar with the project dropped a couple intriguing ideas to THR that Tarantino was toying with. One was that the Hollywood-set tale could serve as a Tarantino goodbye meta-verse with the director’s earlier movies existing in the same era of The Movie Critic (which could work, given that his films have a ’70s vibe). That way, Tarantino could bring back some of the stars of his earlier work to reprise their iconic characters in “movie within a movie” moments, or to play fictional versions of themselves as the actors who played those characters. Another idea was that the film could include a movie theater where some characters could potentially interact with a budding future auteur — such as a 16-year-old Tarantino, who worked as an usher at a Torrence p*** theater (“I was tall enough to get away with it,” Tarantino once explained).

Seems like it was going to be all about him

I agree! I’m sure when he heard the Sicilian story there was no relation to True Romance at the time, so for him to see a way to weave it in and make it make sense takes some genius. With some creatives you just have to present something already established and they’ll know how to twist and remake it into something original and dope.

Also the genius about the burger scene is not only does it feel like real life banter, Tarantino still pays it off later with the college kids. Even the foot massage convo, it’s setting up the stakes of the date between Mia and Vincent

yup I completely agree. i think that’s something that creates such great storytelling. being able to take real life situations or even conversations and taking a part of it and use it to create a whole other conversation of dialogue. that’s impressive and creative

For example, when you're able able to come up with a whole scenario centered around a line from a conversation you've actually had.

Wish the dude who made the score for The Hateful Eight was still alive. That opening sequence was kino because of it.

The fact some of it came from that s***ty exorcist sequel

prolly not death proof since that was more contemporary right? and this is based in the 70s

but i wouldn't be surprised IF the idea didn't start to navigate that way and he realized the whole 70s setting wouldn't work

Need him to make a dark, up-it’s-own-ass meta commentary about a foot fetishist who cuts off women’s feet

And make sure to show as little of bare feet as possible
